Android Jelly Bean 4.2.2 is shipped with the G Pad 8.3, while the tablet itself is clad mostly in metal with a plastic rim running round its circumference, measuring 216.8 x 126.5 x 8.3mm and weighing in at 338g.

We are, of course, expecting Apple to launch the iPad Mini 2 next week however, which could well put a spanner in LG's works - we'll just have to wait and see.
